Does anyone know anything about this asylum question? I can't find any information online.

I am playing on the computer, only half listening to the news on my headphones, and the Tucker Carlson show came on. I THOUGHT I heard him say that hidden or included inside a bill that either was or will be passed by Congress, is a proviso that states asylum will automatically be granted to anyone from a foreign country who is fleeing gang violence. Um....that would probably include all of South America and half of Mexico, right? If it is true?

He also says that Republicans in Congress don't seem to care, and he says that this will effectively open our borders to anyone at all, overturning almost all of Trumps' border security issues.

I almost always fact check, because I find anything I hear on TV is usually only half true, if not completely false, but I can't find one article about this, and google usually lists details of bills before Congress.

Does anyone else know any details about this?

Oh, BTW....this question is NOT NOT NOT an open invitation to bully others, be nasty, bash Trump, or any of the other lovely things people seem to enjoy doing.

[c=#800000]I heard something similar. Maybe on the Laura Ingraham radio program today. [/c]

@4meAndyou Oh yeah, I wouldn't worry about the FBi but the left has gotten so violent. They are threatening people and their kids. I was reading an article on it this afternoon, they have arrested quite a few of them. These people have allowed themselves to be manipulated because they lost an election and you'd think the world was coming to an end. smh

@katielass Well, it HAS come to an end.....for the people who are pulling the puppet strings.

@4meAndyou Only if WE remain steadfast and demand change. I don't care what names they call us, it's just an effort to shut us up because they're actually afraid of us. We threaten their business as usual crap.
The Republicans and therefore Fox are against people entering because they are fleeing from the exact same gangs Trump keeps bring up as vicious animals like MS13.
Duterte is another one of Trump's dictator buddies and that's exactly what he is doing in the Philippines.

@Pitchblue Yeah, I heard about that. Drugs are a very serious problem everywhere, and controlling it...I don't know if anyone knows how.

@4meAndyou because all too often they are one and the same.

Yes, rules relaxing the asylum rules were hidden in a bill for funding the border wall. odumbo relaxed the rules unconstitutionally, as he did with so many things, but this would make it legal. However, the constitution still gives the executive the task of enforcing the laws and as we have seen over the years, any president can ignore laws he doesn't agree with or as in the case of the last one, make any law he wishes.

I haven't seen it but it would make perfect sense. The GOP tends to oppose specifically illegal immigration and in name only. In practice they always let it go. A loophole this big would give them all the leeway they need. It would let basically anybody in, and they can say it's not illegal.
